Chevy Malibu ... "more fun to drive than a Toyota Camry, better looking than a Honda accord."
That one makes me laugh... anybody who's ever looked at a Car and Driver knows that Toyotas aren't fun to drive, and the second half of their statement is completely subjective. It's just so cherry-picked. The Malibu could just as easily be "less fun to drive than a Honda Accord, worse looking than a Toyota Camry."
Commercials for our product vs. our competitors product have been around for ages... but usually it's "the leading brand" or what not. I always thought they weren't allowed to directly name their competitors, which makes me wonder if the laws have changed.
And FYI it's not Windows 7 that I consider to be a response to Mac, it's Vista. Windows 7 takes it's Mac-like features from Vista, not from Mac.
